Spencer Hawes starting off the season in typical "Is this finally the year?" fashion. 16 pts, 12 boards, and 5 blocks in 31 minutes off the bench.
For those of us who do not follow every game played and every player, could folks please maybe include just a *bit* of detail on what the heck you are talking about? I don't know if you are being serious or sarcastic. And I sure as heck don't plan to start googling players every time a vague comment is made..... Did he score 30? Get kicked out of a game in the first 2 minutes? Break a leg? What?
Sacramento Kings - 2013 - the future starts NOW!
Long live the SACRAMENTO Kings!
Take it for what its worth, but high turnovers early in a career is the best indicator for later success in point guards.

Watched the MIA/ATL game while waiting for SAS/SAC. Just another thing I hate about living here: it's disgusting to be watching a game, and hear the crowd be louder for the road team. I mean, what the **** is that about?

Think I'll just put this here.

glad to know "altercations" can still earn you fines and not suspensions. #ZachRandolph
Gregg Popovich blasts his team - calls Spurs "soft and an embarrassment." Keith Smart could sure learn a few things, a lot of things from observing such a great coach and his psychological needling.

What's the difference between ignorance and indifference? I don't know and don't care.![]()
Watching this LAL/BK game. What I've noticed is what most coaches would and do do.
D12 out first, earlier in the 1st, Kobe stays in through the end of the 1st. Then Kobe rests as D12 comes back in. Then Pau comes back. Then Kobe around the 7 min mark and all three are in for rest of the half. Not a single minute without one of the LAL big three out there. 15+ mins with big three out there first half.
For BK, JJ sits earlier in the first and Deron stays in through the end of the period. When Deron sits, JJ immediately comes in. Around 6-7 min mark, Deron comes back in and he and JJ are there through the end. Books also gets brief breather and is back with more than half the second quarter to go. Not a minute without one of their big three out there. 15+ mins with big three out there first half.
This is pretty standard. If LAL and BK aren't good enough to risk not having one of their big three out there, and do everything possible to play them as many minutes together, then how are we somehow good enough to continue riding our bench to the extent we do? Our big three in Reke/Cuz/MT are not as good as the big three on these two teams, yet we play our big three together far less. We're also younger so being tired and resting guys is a terrible excuse.

“Sacramento is where I want to be,’’ he said. “I want to bring the organization back, help the organization get started back winning. I love the city of Sacramento. That’s where I want to be. End of story. “We can dig a hole, throw that topic in there, cover it with dirt, pack it down. I want to be in Sacramento. End of story.’’ -DeMarcus Cousins
Our franchise literally is about to rise from the ashes.
That's something that Smart just doesn't get. He keeps giving the excuse that we're not deep enough to have 8-9 guys playing every night, because the guys aren't reliable enough so he has to play 11 guys. In the first place that doesn't make sense to me, because I don't see how subbing Brooks out for Jimmer makes us any better or worse. Secondly, what happened to our bench is one of the deepest in the leagues and all that nonsense? Lastly, he still doesn't get that who and how many guys you're playing is one thing, when they're playing and who they are playing with when they are on the floor is another.
Udonis Haslem became the Miami Heat's all-time leading rebounder tonight. Haslem is the only likeable player on the Heat, IMO, so I'm happy for him.
